This happens to adoptees (esp. adoptees of color) all the time—many people are threatened by adoptees who have the nerve to grow up & start telling their truth. I'd be lying if I said it doesn't hurt, but I have a lot of support. Please support other adoptees when you see this.

TW for my fellow adoptees especially, and sorry for sharing this, but again—for those who aren't aware, this is a particularly toxic version of the kind of stuff so many adoptees get just for speaking uppic.twitter.com/3KQUQhf2MV

This individual was not even responding to anything I'd written about adoption, they were responding to a more general thread I'd written about anti-Asian racism. They just found out I was adopted and decided to turn that into an insult.pic.twitter.com/F7UZLueXPs
